Is this new to post-blackout reddit is or has it been this way for a while. Top post of r/all is a tweet from like 2 years ago about a “current event” that no one has talked about since then and 100% of the comments are talking about this like this topic is the focus of today’s or any recent time’s 24 hour news cycle. Nearly 30K upvotes. 100 comments. Feels like ai/bot cosplaying what an actual hot reddit post would be like but in a world without people.

    Yeah, but Kbin has “reputation”, which is very similar to karma. The whole voting business, while useful for post/comment sorting and collection of metrics, also gives bad incentives and delivers data also great for bot farms. I’d be happy if it didn’t exist at all.

      wefwef.app is also showing something like karma, I was happy that I left concept of fake internet points on reddit, but turns out that it’s still there
